“The life of mankind does not amount to more than an instant. What is passed is now non-existent, you do not feel its pleasure or pain. As for what is yet to come, you do not know what it is. The true and precious capitals of your life are those few instants you presently enjoy. Master then, your soul, and strive to redeem yourself and attain salvation, be steadfast in enduring the rigor of worshipping Allah and obeying His commandments, and preserve yourself from the pollution of sin and disobedience to Allah.”

-Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (a.s.) , al Kafi

And I know best what improves My servant, so let him endure My trial and be thankful for My favors, and be content with My decree, and I will record him among the righteous."

“Fear the world, for it is crafty and cunning. The world gilds and ornaments itself and seduces mankind with its delusions. The world beautifies itself and tempts those who desire it, like an unveiled bride who shows off her beauty, charms the people, and steals hearts.”
